Judge rules against more life-support treatment for baby Charlie Gard

Doctors can withdraw life-support treatment from a baby with a rare genetic condition against his parents' wishes, a High Court judge has ruled. There was a scream of 'no' in the court as the decision about eight-month-old Charlie Gard's care was announced by Mr Justice Francis, who had analysed evidence over three days and had visited the child at Great Ormond Street Hospital.Specialists at the hospital in London think it is time to stop providing life support treatment for Charlie.

She was speaking amid growing disquiet about giving ownership of the new €300m hospital - to be built on the grounds of the St Vincent's Hospital campus - to the Sisters of Charity.

The outcome of a planning application which was lodged with An Bord Pleanála earlier this year is not expected until the summer. The latest broadside came from former Holles Street master and retired obstetrician Peter Boylan - Dr Mahony's brother-in-law.

Ex-hospital master to Simon Harris: 'Ask nuns about their plans for €300m hospital'

Dr. Peter Boylan says the minister must quiz the Sisters of Charity.The National Maternity Hospital at Holles Street in Dublin is moving to a new €300 million facility on the grounds of the current St Vincent’s Hospital.

She said: "There is a triple - lock in place to guarantee absolute autonomy and independence of the clinical services we deliver." Dr Mahony said she was shocked at suggestions by former master Dr Peter Boylan that nuns would run the hospital .

Dr Boylan said he was concerned about the future provision of services at the new national maternity hospital, including IVF, abortion and gender realignment "which will be contrary to the nuns' beliefs".

However, Dr Mahony said she was shocked at Dr Boylan's claim that the nuns will run the hospital.

The master, who was key to the agreement worked out between the board of Holles Street and St Vincent's Healthcare Group, said the safeguards include the retention of the master-ship system, an entirely independent board -dedicated to the provision of maternity, gynaecological and neonatal services - and an independent company to run the facility.

Referring to opposition to the nuns' ownership by victims of institution abuse and survivors of Magdalene laundries, she said mixing the issues of redress with clinical need will ultimately cause more suffering for women.

She said it is not true that nuns would run the hospital and insisted current services will continue to be delivered there, including contra-ception and terminations of pregnancy under the law. She was supported by Holles Street chairman Nicky Kearns, who said as a lawyer he is satisfied that the necessary elements to safeguard the independence are "water tight and sound".
